title: [A comparison of the frequency of hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody in hospital and nonhospital personnel].
abstract: HBsAg and Anti-HBs positivity was determined in hospital personnel and volunteer blood donors (controls) by using Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA) method. The combined prevalence of antigen-antibody positivity among hospital personnel was 40.52% (HBsAg 5.57%, Anti-HBs 34.94%) while it was present 37% (HBsAg 6% Anti-HBs 31%) in controls.
